Thor24 is a truck like no other, a seven-odyssey by one man named Mike Harrah, and it just sold for USD$12,000,000.

Based around a Peterbilt 359 crew-cab Thor has been stretched 13.5m (44-feet) and packs twin 13.9-litre (852ci) Detroit diesel V12 engines with no less than 12 polished superchargers helping the insane brute make 2963kW (3974hp).

The 14.5-tonne, 200km/h giant cost over $10,000,000 to build and was sold at the Worldwide Auctioneer’s Riyadh event in Saudi Arabia this past weekend.

When the hammer dropped the final winning bid was for $17,677,000, and we’re not sure if that includes shipping the truck from Arizona where it currently resides.

A love of classic American and European cars drove Iain Kelly to motoring journalism straight out of high school, via the ownership of a tired 1975 HJ Holden Monaro.  For nearly 20 years he has worked on magazines and websites catering to modified late model high-performance Japanese and European tuner cars, as well as traditional hot rods, muscle cars and street machines. Some of these titles include Auto Salon, LSX Tuner, MOTOR, Forged, Freestyle Rides, Roadkill, SPEED, and Street Machine. He counts his trip to the USA to help build Mighty Car Mods’ “Subarute” along with co-authoring their recent book, The Cars of Mighty Car Mods, among his career highlights.  Iain lends his expertise to CarsGuide for a variety of advice projects, along with legitimising his automotive obsession with regular OverSteer contributions. Although his practical skills working on cars is nearly all self-taught, he still loves nothing more than spending quality time in the shed working on his project car, a 1964 Pontiac. He also admits to also having an addiction to E30 BMWs and Subaru Liberty RS Turbos, both of which he has had multiple examples of. With car choices like that, at least his mum thinks he is cool.
